CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT: SEPARATED 1
Alucard watch her tremble, her head remain down, hands covering her both ear as she repeat same words” no, Alucard will never kill, No!” She keep shaking her head, in a normal circvmstances I will try talking to her but that is not what she need.
Moving towards the exit I smile, knowing this is the last time I will see her ” it was fun while it lasted ” fighting off the silly emotions swirling in my heart I move out of the piano room.
Levitt, Leo and Bevin stood right there ” what do you do now my lord”
” Nothing, prepare for my departure ” I grown ” we are leaving right now to transviel, I believe I have unfinished business ”
” what about snow” Leo growl ” we forbid you to leave her in such a state”
” they is nothing I can do ”
” clean yourself up, go back to that room, take her to bed and talk some sense into her” Leo growl looking angry ” its all your fault she fell in love, if you only treated her harsh like we ask you to do the first time then all these won’t have happen ”
” I do not like snow but I think is inappropriate for you to leave her in such a state ” Levitt fold his hands ” at least take her back to her house before the storm become worst ”
Clenching my fist I stare at Bevin who said nothing, he shrug ” I don’t care, she can die or live” Bevin mumble ” that’s all up to you lord Alucard ”
“What’s up with this irreverent talk ” I turn around ” I want nothing to do with her anymore, Leo you can take her to her house then return ” after that I move towards my tower ” am done with feelings and women ”
Shutting the door I take off my clothes, I signed up for this life, I knew what I was getting into, I knew I won’t be able to have a child, the dead can’t reproduce.
I knew I won’t be able to embrace a woman, I knew my life will be fill with death but that didn’t mean I always derive joy from killing, yes I kill and I love it most times.
But Elis case was different.
I knew all these but still went ahead to live with humans, how foolish can one get, staring at the mirror in my tower I clench my hands, I have even forgotten how I looked, colour of my eyes, lips, shape of my face.
I wonder what snow sees in me, its better this way, snow fearing and hating me will keep her away, far away from me and also gives me time to heal, heal from this pain am feeling.
Moving away from the mirror, I head into my bathroom, wash off all the blood then move back to my room, change into a pair of white long sleeves and trouser, not bothering with packing of any cloth I step out of the tower to meet only Levitt and Bevin ” where is Leo?”
” he decided to take snow home as you ordered, his words were ‘ I might delay so tell lord Alucard to leave without me, I will catch up ‘ those were his words ”
I nod ” that’s fine, we leave now ”
Good bye snow, I wish we never meet again.
Snow blink her eyes before finally opening them, looking around I try remembering what happened, Alucard killing Elis, No. That isn’t possible, he will never.
But why am I in my room, how did I leave? When did I leave Alucard castle” you’re awake” hearing that voice I turn around, Leo sitting on a chair ” you have been unconscious for two days, do seeing blood affect you that much ?”
” blood?” I repeat his words ” that wasn’t real, it had to be fake, Alucard just want me to leave him, he must be pulling a prank on me ”
” that’s not true snow ” Leo frown” I told you, my lord has need for dark appetite, his name is Dracula after all…how naive are you”
” I refuse to believe that, he is a kind man” shaking my head the images come back to me, his fangs pierce into Elis neck, drinking her blood, her screaming, despise her cries he didn’t let go until she died ” Alucard will not kill Elis, No, No” shaking my head.
Leo place his hand on my shoulder then shake me vigorously ” get back to your senses snow, Alucard has never been a kind man, his reason for buying you was to kill you, kill you and bring back his lover ” I remain quite looking at Leo” do you think he has never taken your blood ”
” No he…” I stopped speaking when all my dreams came back to me, his images, leaning close and licking my neck, piercing them, those insects bite, I always heard his voice, telling me to sleep ” it wasn’t a dream?” Tears flow from my eyes” it was all real”
” I brought you here and waited for you to wake up before I leave ” Leo stand upright” this will be our last conversion” he lean close and kiss my lips, not a deep kiss, just our lips meeting and him withdrawing ” goodbye ”
” wait ”
” do not ask for Alucard and don’t search for him” he shoot me a glare” you being scared of him angered him, his words were ‘ am done with this feeling and women ‘, go back to wh@tëver you humans do, I do not want you appearing to my lord after today”
Not knowing what to say I remain still while he walk away with his last sentence ” one more thing snow, am not a Butler ” and then he was gone, out of sight.
Silence engulf me in my room, Alucard is Dracula, a vampire, born to stay in darkness, drink blood for survival ” vampire ” the word echo in my room, I do not think I want that.
He did say whoever he embrace dies, I don’t want to die, I don’t ever want to be in Elis shoe, I don’t want my blood to be taken from my body till I die, Alucard was right, I should have left, gone far away, away from all these, I don’t think I can do this anymore.
Falling back to the bed, I hug my knee to myself, feeling defeated with only five words in my head.
I no longer want Alucard.
